Internet Radio

Brandon Wetherbee's latest edition of his You, Me, Them, Everybody Caritey show podcast is going jumbo sized tomorrow. The 12-hour Sabado Gigante!!!-themed edition starting at 2 p.m. tomorrow also has a decided Chicagoist feel to it. Karl Klockars will guest on the show at 5 p.m.; former Chicagoist husband-and-wife team Scott Smith and Erin Shea Smith make a joint appearance at 3 p.m.; and our own El Jefe Chuck Sudo guests at 10 p.m. Expect lots of swearing and jokes at Tankboy's expense. (Let's hope Chuck doesn't poison Wetherbee with five-year-old glögg like he did during his last appearance on YMTE.)

Cooking Demo

Did you drool over the pictures from Mercadito’s April chef demo? If so, get ready - they’re hosting another on Monday, June 27. The demo is actually held inside of Double A, the cocktail lounge beneath Mercadito, and it’s an amazing bargain - 5 courses and 5 full-size cocktails for $55. Plus, you get a show - chef Patricio Sandoval will make all the courses in front of you, and come to each table to answer questions. It’s a great time - but it will definitely fill up. Make reservations now by calling 312.329.9555. (108 W. Kinzie St.)

Free HIV Testing

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 25% of people infected with HIV don’t know their status. Monday is National HIV Testing Day and Howard Brown Health Center is offering free HIV tests at its walk-in clinic in Uptown from 1-7 p.m. (4025 N. Sheridan Rd.)
